Answer 1

Given:

The sum of three consecutive natural numbers is 816.

Let the numbers be x, x+1, and x+2.

To find the numbers:

Since, the sum of three consecutive natural numbers is 816.

So,

$\begin{gathered} x+x+1+x+2=816 \\ 3x+3=816 \\ 3x=816-3 \\ 3x=813 \\ x=271 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the numbers are 271, 272, 273.
